Systemchip til meterapplikationer
Maxim Integrated Products lancerer højt integreret 'single phase' systemchip (SoC) til en bred vifte af meterapplikationer (in english).
Using the ZON M3 (MAX71315) single-phase electricity meter SoC from Maxim Integrated Products engineers now have a highly accurate, low-cost design system for e-meters and solid-state meters.'Automotive Superior' metering metrology is essential for accurate monitoring and billing. Additionally, meter manufacturers must consider cost in their designs, as millions of meters are being deployed throughout the globe. The ZON M3 energy-meter solution integrates four 24-bit ADCs for 4-channel data collection and ±0.1% measurement accuracy over 5000:1 dynamic range. A 32-bit metrology compute engine (CE) ensures high-accuracy processing of all collected data.
Its two touch-switch inputs eliminate mechanical switches and improve user experience, and its infrared (IR) communications interface eliminates the typical extra IR receiver module. All the high integration reduces cost and improves user experience.
- The ZON M3 electricity meter SoC is the perfect answer for residential market challenges. It enables high accuracy and reduces BOM cost for e-meters, submeters, and solid-state meters around the globe, says Gregory Guez, Business Director for Energy Solutions at Maxim Integrated.
- New technical standards will enhance smart meter technology and may even revolutionize the whole value chain, from chip design to meter manufacturing, adds Julia Zhu, Senior Analyst at IHS China.
- The two cornerstones of the new standard, performance and reliability, will be key to making a difference in the smart meter market.
